THE JR Group is celebrating after three of the firm’s developments were named as finalists in this year’s Homes for Scotland Awards.

The business has been shortlisted across two categories – Affordable Development of the Year (medium) and Affordable Development of the Year (small).

Upper Achintore in Fort William, which was delivered on behalf of Link Group, has been labelled ‘truly transformative’ in bringing to fruition a nationwide ambition to help grow and sustain rural communities in the Highlands. The development features 82 new energy efficient homes and has been shortlisted in the Affordable Development of the Year (medium) category.

Two JR Group Stirling projects – one in Glasgow Road and the other in McQueen Way – have been nominated for the Affordable Development of the Year (small up to 35 homes) category.

Andrew Dallas, projects director for The JR Group, said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be shortlisted in this year’s Homes for Scotland Awards for not one, but three key developments – all of which we are incredibly proud of. As a member of Homes for Scotland, we strive to positively contribute to Scotland’s social and economic growth, through our delivery of social housing developments across the country.

“These awards really showcase the varied work of the membership, and we are delighted to be recognised amongst the best in the business. We very much look forward to the awards lunch and to finding out the winners across the board.”
